ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowships

The ESRC's Postdoctoral Fellowship (PDF) Scheme is aimed at those in the immediate postdoctoral stage of their career, to provide the opportunity to consolidate their PhD through developing publications, networks, and their research and professional skills.

The call is open to applicants who have completed their PhD at a research organisation that is part of a DTP or CDT and who are within 12 months of completing their PhD. At the submission deadline, applicants must either have been awarded a PhD or have submitted their thesis and passed their viva voce with minor corrections, with the expectation that the PhD will be awarded by the fellowship start date.

The deadline for the submission of applications is 16.00 on 22 March 2019. The Cambridge ESRC DTP will peer review the proposals received and make funding decisions on behalf of the ESRC by June 2019. Fellowships will start on 1 October 2019.
